Friendship Doubles Joy

Hi Bloggers.

Another card today featuring the Creative Expressions Trees of Imagination Stamp Set.

For the background, I ran a piece of Burgundy card through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Chiaro Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern.

I cut a Spellbinders Scalloped Labels One out of black card. At the emboss stage, I inked over the Floral Vines Mask with Perfect Medium and then placed it on top of the die (NOT the cutting edge side). So, the sandwich here was - base plate, tan mat, die with card in it with cutting edge going down onto tan mat, mask - ink side down, pink embossing plate. I carefully, removed the card from the mask and the die, added Cosmic Shimmer Lava Black Embossing Powder and heat set.

I stamped the tree from the Creative ExpressionsTrees of Imagination Stamp Set using the Perfect Medium and again embossed with Lava Black. It looks different on white card and black card. I cut it out using a smaller Scalloped Labels One.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Sincere Sentiments Stamp Set again with Perfect Medium and embossed with Lava Black. I cut it out using another Scalloped Labels One die.


I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Two Tone Ribbon and added a Black Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges and some Black Self Adhesive Swirls.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
